Mama Tried (Originally Perfomed By Merle Haggard) (Tribute Version) - New Tribute Kings

The first thing I remember knowing

我只记得

Was a lonesome whistle blowing

那寂寥的口哨声

And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;

一个小子 急着长大

On a freight train leaving town

在一列货运火车上

Not knowing where I'm bound

不知道究竟要去哪里

No-one could change my mind but Mama tried

没有人能改变我的想法 但妈妈努力过

One and only rebel child

那个叛逆少年

From a family meek and mild:

来自一个温暖的家庭 也曾谦逊有礼

My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

我的妈妈似乎知道要发生什么

Despite all my Sunday learning

可我不顾一切

Towards the bad I kept on turning

朝着坏的方向发展 肆无忌惮

'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

直到妈妈管不了

And I turned twenty-one

21岁锒铛入狱

In prison doing life without parole

不能假释

No-one could steer me right

没有人正确地引导我

But Mama tried Mama tried

但妈妈努力过了 努力过了

Mama tried to raise me better

妈妈想让我学好

But her pleading I denied

可我不听

That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried

这只能怪我自己 因为妈妈努力过了

Dear old Daddy rest his soul

亲爱的父亲安息了

Left my Mom a heavy load;

留给母亲沉重的负担

She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

她努力地工作

Working hours without rest

夜以继日 不眠不休

Wanted me to have the best

只想让我过上好日子

She tried to raise me right but I refused

她努力让我朝正确的方向发展 但我不听

And I turned twenty-one

21岁锒铛入狱

In prison doing life without parole

不能假释

No-one could steer me right

没有人正确地引导我

But Mama tried Mama tried

但妈妈努力过了 努力过了

Mama tried to raise me better

妈妈想让我学好

But her pleading I denied

可我不听

That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried

这只能怪我自己 因为妈妈努力过了
